So!
Little comment fic thing, for everyone who wants to celebrate! Write a comment fic, a drabble, a sentence even, about how our ladies and gents react. I'll start:
Evan's mission went well, so he's strolling happily enough through the Gate ten entire minutes ahead of schedule. He's expecting the usual contingent of Marines on guard duty; what he's not expecting is the entire Gate room to be packed full of what might just be the entire expedition, or close enough to it. John's standing at the base of the steps, grinning like crazy, and three seconds after Evan steps through the Gate John's in front of him, grabbing him by the vest, dipping him down, and kissing him.
In full view of the aforementioned entire expedition.
Whoops and catcalls break out from everywhere, and John breaks away to laugh like Evan hasn't heard him laugh in ages.
"Repeal?" Evan asks, grinning.
"Close enough for now," John replies, kissing him again before standing them upright. "Close enough for now."
